College Gameday will be in Lubbock for Texas Tech/BYU. Guns up, nuns up.

So the new thing is that Lane Kiffin is gonna wait and try and get the New York Giants job

As I type that through gritted teeth...

I know we shouldn't take too much stock in playoff brackets now but clearly someone would like to see an Indiana vs Notre Dame rematch

In news that is sure to go over very well in Madison, Wisconsin A.D. Chris McIntosh announced Luke Fickell will be the head football coach in 2026.

How's this for a crazy and slightly possible first round match up. #5 seed Indiana vs 12 seed G5 champion... James Madison

I can't think of a more entertaining combination of people than Lane Kiffin, Jaxson Dart, and Cam Scatteboo.  

Speaking of Lane and calling back to a conversation we had a week or so ago...In my offline Dynasty in College Football 26, Lane eventually took over for Dabo at Clemson.  He got them to #2 in the country and the National Semi-Final game...then took the job at Michigan before the game was played.  And you guys said Lane wouldn't do something like that.

This seems like something that needs to be stopped, since CFB teams have so many players on their rosters, players can have duplicate numbers which is ok, as long as two players with the same number aren't on the same play.. They changed their 3rd string QB's jersey number before this week to the same number as the punter, and snuck them out in the punter's place for a fake punt to throw a TD. seems really game-y.

 

USC's Sam Huard, wearing No. 80, fools Northwestern with trick play - ESPN

Give Northwestern credit for just being “yeah… they got us”

But have to figure this is gonna put the rule on everyone’s radar

Holy fuck what a catch by Indiana's Cooper.

What a catch. 

My brain still has problems computing that Indiana is really good at football. I mean, we were happy going to things like the Copper and Liberty Bowl with Bill Mallory and Anthony Thompson.

That catch was so great I think Gus Johnson went back in time and hit puberty again.  The sounds coming out of him 😂

That's a statue play if they manage to win a natty. 

Loved how you could see him looking down to get his feet in AND the line judge doing the same. 

What an incredible play. 

At least for the broadcast network games, this has been just a great day for Big Ten football

Wisconsin trying to get that Big Ten upset we almost saw twice earlier today

Weird schedule quirk today. Michigan, Michigan State, Central Michigan, and Western Michigan are all on a bye week, leaving Eastern Michigan as the only division one team to play in the entire state today.

Wisconsin beating a top 25 team where their top passer was the punter with a whopping 24 yards.

Three quarterbacks threw passes and combined for 24 yards total as well.

Gus versus the 90s AJPW PBP guy for who can ruin the most sets of pants the most spectacularly?

although considering the news out of the NFL this week, probably a good thing that WMU had an offweek

Rule of Gus? Rule of Gus.

Turns out the USC play is already illegal:

This is actually high school (West Virginia), but everyone needs to see the awesomeness of a 350-lb linebacker intercepting a pass and taking it to the house... or as it's now called, the THICC SIX. 😃
